Volunteer

Volunteers are vital to our work, they encourage people in their area or community to support our work and fundraise for us. We need people to give a little of their time and skills, for example speaking to organizations such as Schools, Local Companies, Faith Groups, Clubs, Youth Groups etc. Volunteers are a real driving force.
